Viewing files content inside MS-Access form (1 Viewer)

wegidio · Jan 2, 2018

Dear All,
I need to develop an app using MS-Access 2016 that allows to view several kinds of files [*.xlsx (MS-Excel), *.docx (MS-Word), *.msg (MS-Outlook) and PDF] INSIDE the form (something like the MS Windows Explorer). I ask you to support me to solve this issue.
Best Regards,
Wanderley Egídio

You can use webbrowser control fir your viewer. Also you will be needing a Filedialog object to browse files or folder in your pc.

Hello "arnelgp". I thank you for your fast response. As I explained I need to show also files from MS-Word (*.docx), MS-Excel (*.xlsx), Adobe (*.pdf) and MS-Outlook (*.msg) therefore I kindly ask you to guide me step-by-step how can I use this control (webbrowser) to this.

i.e.. State you have done so & provide a link to the other post
